Returning Disney CEO Bob Iger tells employees he'll work to 'quiet things down' politically

As Twitchy reported Monday, Brianna Wu claimed that conservatives who “freaked out” over Disney’s “Lightyear” would “s**t the bed” over its new offering, “Strange World” (even the dog is disabled!). “Strange World” is projected to lose $100 million, so we’re not sure if Chris Evans will blame “idiots” who didn’t care for the gay themes. As Christopher Rufo showed in an all-hands video from this spring, Disney executive producer Latoya Raveneau said her team had implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and was regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming.

A lot of media types like Brian Stelter weighed in on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis going to war with Disney over the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, but that’s not quite accurate. Disney’s the one that decided to start a war by coming out against the legislation, with then-CEO Bob Chapek emailing employees to address their “pain, frustration, and sadness” over Disney’s delayed opposition to the bill (which is now a popular law).

Bob Iger is back as CEO at Disney and told employees that he would work to “quiet things down” politically.

Rufo writes:

In response to an audience question about the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, Iger said the company would still promote “inclusion,” but signaled that he would adopt a different posture than his processor and suggested that the company will “listen to [its] audience” and “have respect for the people that [it’s] serving.”

Finally, in response to the suggestion that “many cast members had wished that Disney stayed out of politics,” Iger expressed regret. “Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy? Of course not,” he said. “It can be distracting, and it can have a negative impact on the company. And to the extent that I can work to kind of quiet things down, I’m going to do that.”

Much like Twitter, we’ll bet the whiny employees will get their way and end up steering the direction of the company instead of the CEO. Their agendas haven’t changed one bit.
